This recipe will impress the most avid sugar-lover, yet it only has a minimal amount of natural sweeteners. I love this recipe - a few healthy ingredients and they are irresistable. I have adapted this recipe from my absolute favorite healthy dessert book: Sweet and Natural, by Meredith McCarty.
Linzertorte Cookies
1 cup nuts (almonds, walnuts, hazelnuts, pecans or cashews) coarsely ground
1 cup oatmeal, coursely ground
1 cup whole wheat flour or barley flour (or for gluten free: millet and chestnut flours)
1/2 teaspoon aluminum-free baking powder
sea salt to taste
1/2 cup walnut (or light vegetable) oil
1/2 cup maple syrup
1 teaspoon almond extract
1/4 cup fruit-sweetened jam
1) Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or brush with oil.
2) Grind the nuts and oatmeal (can be done together).
3) Mix dry ingredients together. Mix wet ingredients together. Add wet to dry and whisk.
4) Roll into balls, and press thumb into the middle to form an indentation.
5) Fill indentations with jam. These cookies are also great plain.
6) Bake for 15-20 minutes.
